My understanding is:
If I were to take a stock photo of some celebrity (let's say Kobe Bryant for example), and use it to draw a picture of him, and try to sell it commercially, I could get into legal trouble. Correct?
.. . Because he did not sign off or license it?
If that assumption is correct, using the above example, let's say I wanted to draw pictures of lots of NBA players and sell them, I would need to get licensing, right? Would that be through the NBA organization, or through the individual players?
And if I did want such licensing, does anybody have any idea of what that kind of licensing costs? I would guess it would depend on who you're drawing?
And short of that, does anybody know how to find out that information?
